Wow. 40 years ago. I was 10. Such a wonderful memory of Christmas 1970when I opened one of my gifts to find this LP. Almost a full year of this LP in the record slots at the local Woolco Department Store. I believe this was their only album of that year. I have both the LP and CD version. Too bad ' People Gotta Be Free ' was not released as a single. That song , from the medley on side two , always gets me movin' and groovin' as much as California Soul does with the rockin' and reelin'.

Thanks for sharing your warm memories...I bet many of us can relate to having a "5th Dimension Christmas!"

Blessings!

@bearfed Please check out our latest FOREVER 5th video, "A Change is Gonna Come/People Gotta Be Free," saluting the artistry of Billy Davis, Jr. By the way, this medley was indeed the flip side to the single of "The Declaration;" as the proverbial "Independence Medley" from PORTRAIT was issued on 45 in 1970.

This started to "grow on me" after the 2nd listen. I like the song very much.

Yes, this song has been a tasty, sentimental 5th fan favorite for officially 4 decades now...I'm so pleased you are just discovering it's enigmatic allure!

I know exactly what you mean, C.J. and so many do as we celebrate the literal 40th Anniversary of The 5th's PORTRAIT album...it goes down in time edifying the concept of freedom on so many levels and the pen of Mr. McLemore nailed a particular pathos-tinged feeling here! PS...Your work in general and w/ Miss Mary Wilson is powerful...kudos, my kind Bro!

[Branner]

Excellent job! Thanks!

[robbybobbyoh]

Thank you kindly, Mr. B for your ever classy support...can u believe this indeed is the official 40th of PORTRAIT!
